Here are some assorted photos of Gwyneth Paltrow visiting the Brentwood Country Mart over the past few weeks. That’s where her new Goop Pop-Up Store is located, so she’s doing some undercover promotion for it – the paparazzi get a surprising amount of photos of her around the store, have you noticed? Over the weekend, she even wore short-shorts (with her butt hanging out) and brought her son Moses. I feel like Moses looks so much like Gwyneth and Apple looks like Chris had a kid with Kate Moss.
Speaking of the kids, did you know that most of the tabloid reporting about Chris and Gwyneth’s split included quotes about how Chris hated how Gwyneth limited the kids’ food intake? He wanted the kids to be able to have some ice cream or eat some chicken nuggets without it being the end of Goop’s World. So now that Chris and Gwyneth are consciously uncoupled, Chris is taking them out for fast-food. Classic divorced dad move!
Sounds like Gwyneth Paltrow’s kids are doing some “conscious uncoupling” of their own – from their gluten-free, low-carb diet!
In Touch spotted the health food fanatic’s two children scarfing down French fries and guzzling sodas with Gwyn’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Chris Martin, at fast-food eatery Reddi Chick in Santa Monica, California.
“They were shoveling handfuls of fries into their mouths,” an eyewitness tells In Touch of Apple, 10, and Moses, 8. “It was like they’d never eaten anything so good in their lives! They were loving every second of it.”
Yep, I believe this happened. I also believe Chris has been doing this for a while – sneaking the kids out so they can have some French fries every so often. To be fair, Gwyneth has “allowed” this kind of peasant food to be consumed in her presence before, but you can tell she doesn’t like it.
Meanwhile, Chris was cornered by TMZ a few nights ago and they asked him if he was back with Goop – you can see the video here. TMZ acts like he’s announcing they’re back together when really he’s just saying that they still “hang out.”

Until they file for the “big D”, I believe this “unconscious coupling” thing is just a big PR stunt. I think they were fine with their open marriage, but with the cheating scandals they announced the break-up to avoid the backlash. I think they are still together in the way they always were.
I agree. Technically, no one’s used or enacted the actual word divorce. I think this was the only way to mitigate the pr damage of their extramarital affairs. Their behavior is still business as usual.
Interesting idea. I figured they only announced it at all because Vanity Fair had stuff they were going to spill and then backed off, so maybe they will keep this going if that’s what they both want.
Lucy2-this for sure. I thought that she would be on the cover of VF once this storm blew over.
From one pie to another, I like what you opine. It sounds very plausible
Plus they’ve both profited from it. Her website got max hits, he had an album coming out. Now we can cue the story about their rekindled rommance.
I don’t get this narrative? Do people just conveniently forget that Chris is a yoga loving health freak because they are so eager to make Gwyneth into the wicked witch of the west?
I don’t really like any of them but i used to like Coldplay back in the day and Chris was always preaching . He is as new age and highly strung as she is.
Right, I don’t buy that he’s the “cool one”.
Really??? That’s interesting, I’ve never heard about that. Mostly because I don’t care about Coldplay. Wow.
Well, I think people also forget that making your kids eat healthy is not the end of the world. Quite the opposite. You don’t need to be obsessive about it but in general, I don’t understand why people act like she’s harming her children when there are countless parents out there who let their kids become obese and unhealthy. NO kid will thank their parents for letting them eat all the junk food they want all the time. So if I had to choose, I’d choose her vegan granola ways (or whatever she’s on these days) over sugar and junk food for my kids any day. Ideally, it’s about balance. But again, if I had to pick, she’d win.
Also, if this is true, he’s an a**hole. She may be high maintenance but THIS is not the area he should be sabotaging.
I have to agree with you here. Can’t stand sanctimonious preachy people, but I can’t argue with wanting your kids to eat healthy organic food over processed junk. I feed my son (and myself) foods such as green smoothies, because it’s a way to get raw fruits and vegetables into him that he enjoys, and we don’t eat fast food. He doesn’t feel deprived either and loves the food I make him.
totally agree. Why is feeding kids with shitty food considered normal and innocent? She wants the best for her kids, its just normal that she feeds them healthy. Healthy food is delicious, unless u’ve spoiled your receptors with artificial flavours or salt/sugar overload.
It’s not that she’s obsessed with feeding her kids organic! She literally starves them of dairy, pasta, bread & rice – she puts her kids on the same f–ked up diets that she’s on.

@ Lee: Yup. I think people are mostly fed up with her preachy cr*p, very well said. I doubt they would verbally quarter her for the food issue if she wasn’t so unlikeable overall.
On a sidenote: Why is it that people think indulgence equals greasy fast food? You can make burgers at home with healthy ingredients. You can bake, you can prepare desserts with less sugar/fat etc. There are ways to indulge that don’t include the bacteria infested junk food joint on the corner (I’m sorry, we just had that Burger Kind scandal in Germany, I’m a little sensitive to this right now). What I’m trying to say is, indulging is fine. But maybe Chrissy boy should grill those burgers himself.
I don’t even know why this makes me so angry.
ETA: Kaiser, I’m not sure what I believe when it comes to the food she gives to her kids. She changes her tune a lot and has said before that they do get treats. Just not all the time. She can’t control what they eat all day so they probably do eat carbs.
Exactly little miss naughty. I don’t understand why indulgence = crappy processed food. My mom used to make us home-made burgers with organic beef, she even used to make her own fries and breaded chicken once in a while. Delicious, and completely organic and not processed.
I agree that healthy food is not a bad thing at all.
I would just be concerned in their case that Goop doesn’t really know what she’s doing, she’s following stupid fads not scientific nutritional knowledge. Plus given all her obsessing over it, she seems to have a lot of food related issues, and that isn’t a good thing to project on the kids.
Starving them of dairy, pasta and bread? Come on, while a lot of people see these as staples other people lived thousends of years without dairy and wheat. Huge parts of the Asian population are lactose intolerant, so no dairy. And their staple food for centuries was (next to vegetables, fruit, legumes eggs, fish and meat) millet and brown rice, in some parts also buckwheat which are all gluten free, so they hardly had bread or the pasta we know. So they didn’t die without that stuff. If she feeds her kids all the rest you can have she is hardly starving them.
@ lucy 2: I completely get what you’re saying and surely the woman has issues relating to food. I would hope that she doesn’t preach at home the way she does on GOOP. And she’s no nutritionist, that’s also clear.
However, the main problem I have with this narrative is that Chris Martin is painted at the “normal” one who lets his kids have all that delicious crap. “They love it!” Um, they’re children. I would’ve eaten nothing but pizza and fries at their age but did I? No. My mom wouldn’t have it of course. Anyway, we can discuss GOOP’s issues all day but overall, this narrative uses food to show that she’s insane and possibly harms her kids by not letting them eat all the delicious things that their normal dad lets them have. When clearly, fast food is not the way to identify the “normal” parent here.
I don’t for a second believe, by the way, that the kids don’t get carbs. I’m guessing she used that to shill her book and get press for her blog. The gluten thing is a fad (not for people who really do need to stay away from if of course) and she thinks she invented it.
This is going to be an ongoing narrative, like the Jolie and Aniston thing.
Oops. How many colonics is Goop going to have performed on the kids to rid them of all those nasty toxins?
Good for them. I hoped they super sized it.
*Whoops of laughter*
hahahahahaha!
I love this story
I’m all for consistently eating healthy. But have a treat occasionally. Don’t deprive your kids. We eat a healthy, vegetarian diet but my daughter has had ice cream and French fries. They’re just a treat that we eat every month or two not every day
I always feel so bad for kids who are out with their mom and she’s wearing booty shorts. I’d be so embarrassed
I know this is discussed ad nauseam, but her hair in that header pic. It’s like a Crayola color, it’s so…boxed dye brassy yellow. Would it be so difficult to go a more buttery route? Oh, wait…no butter for Goop.
*snicker*
ha ha!
She’s always dyed it blond and had a nose job to hide her ethnicity, kinda sad if you ask me. The way she looks is not the way she was born.
She does have great legs… (:
As much as I dislike keeping your children on some weird diet I don’t much approve of fast food as the alternative either.
Come on. Yes she can be insufferable but to paint the kids as fry-bingeing maniacs because they’ve been so deprived just reeks of BS. The “story” fits the narrative so the media goes with it, no matter how preposterous.
Yep.
It’s BS, I agree, classic divorcing Dad narrative BS, I have to puke now.
I don’t get why people are so hard on Gwyneth for wanting her children to eat healthy. She doesn’t want her kids to be slaves to fast food and sugar. She should be applauded for that.
On the one hand you are right; one the other hand the human condition is to crave the taboo and the exotic. My mum banned all sweets and snacks at home so the second I went to university I ate every item of junk food in sight and put on 30lb!
I’m back to mum’s diet again because, yes, I do feel better eating clean, but with a few bars of chocolate and cartons of fries to maintain my sanity.
Meh, they’ve eaten fries before. Kids who eat fries all the time ‘scarf’ things down. I keep a pretty strict house when it comes to nutrition, but BBQ days = hot dogs and toasted marshmallows and seriously, the ensuing tantrums remind me why those are not things we eat all the time.
Is ‘scarfed’ the American version of scoffed ?
scarf down
scarf
3 [skahrf] Show IPA
verb (used with object), verb (used without object) Slang.
to eat, especially voraciously (often followed by down or up ): to scarf down junk food.
Origin:
1955–60, Americanism; variant of scoff2 , with r inserted probably through r-dialect speakers’ mistaking the underlying vowel as an r-less ar
Yeah.
No it means to eat in such a manner= eat quickly,consume such a large amount that it seems like the person is /was starving
Yeah I think its the same as our scoffed down.
Why does her son’s lips look like that?
Dem organic blueberries. I don’t know really, though my first thought was that people with health problems sometimes have that lip color.
Recently ate something blue.
I still love these stories… lol
This is the best she’s ever looked because you can’t see her dried-up Goopy face.
